What happened? Description:

First off, it was actually two people. Here is the info block of the second:

| steamname: Aiden ♚
| steam3ID: [U:1:385376723]
| steamID32: STEAM_0:1:192688361
| steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198345642451

They're both already marked but a bit more never hurt anyone.

So Isaiah adds me asking to buy my unusual. (He didn't say what it was specifically, so I assumed he meant the only one I had, which was a Green Energy Frenchman's Beret at the time.) He asks if I'd be willing to sell it for real money. I said no, that I was doing key and item deals only. He asked how many keys I wanted and I stated that I'd prefer to get 35. He agreed, but then said that he didn't have the keys. He asked me if I could wait while he got them from marketplace.tf . I agreed.

Then he asked if he could have a middleman help us with the trade so that I 'wouldn't screw him over'. I agreed, and he linked me to 'ServiceAidenOfficial', which I immediately checked on steamrep and found to be fake and already marked. I played along, eventually being given the Trade URL to the fake middleman. At that point I called them both out for being scammers, including sending them links to their steamreps. They both un-added me at once.

The screenshots were taken from my iPad- I accidentally closed my desktop Steam Chat, but I had a version of it still open in my Overlay. I uploaded a video of the entire thing as it happened as well, which can be found here:

The screenshots are of the chat log. The video contains the entire chat log, as well as the sent trade URL and my calling them out for scamming. It also includes me checking both their accounts against Steamidfinder and Steamrep.​
